Not if you aren't in the market for one of the homes it isn't. If you are then it's a concern if you can't find a home that you want, but we're talking about people who already have homes complaining about development in the area. So no, it isn't any of their business if a home they don't own and weren't in the process of buying is replaced with another home they don't own and also weren't in the process of buying.
And of course that's setting aside the whole, "let's pretend that all the people who need homes don't exist and that the demand is all investors" thing. But I realize that obsessing about investors is necessary to justify hostility toward development.
